Dear Patient , Greetings for the Day ! In general, Teeth ,tongue and person oral structures play an important role in the pronunciation of the consonants f, v, s,r, z, etc.., Dental issues that extremely prevent or hinder pronunciations are: 1. Open Bite :This is an oral situation in which the front teeth do not close together. Many speech sounds require closed front teeth to enunciate. 2. Lack of Teeth. Whether due to early loss or lack of normal tooth development, loss of front teeth can make it extremely difficult to produce sounds well. 3. Thumb Sucking After Effects. Prolonged thumb sucking in childhood can push front teeth forward, cause an open bite, and deform the palate. This combination can make proper speech development a challenge. 4. Tongue Thrust. This is when the tongue, during swallowing or speaking, pushes through the teeth. If not addressed with the problem will cause movement of teeth and increased difficulty with speech.
